Teach For America 2013 Corps

I finally clicked submit yesterday on my TFA application! 1DL (first deadline) submissions will receive notification on August 30th! I saw those who were applying to the 2012 corps last year had a thread here and I figured we might as well start ours and update together!

Hey there red! I clicked submit on my app on the 22nd. So nervous. I keep looking stuff up online and stressing myself out more and more. Only like 17% of people who apply get accepted. I am SO nervous!

Hoping! How much leadership did you include. TFA really looks for applicants who have diverse leadership experience and are aligned with their five core values.
Well let's just update here and comfort each others anxieties until the 30th.

I don't know if I put in enough leadership. =/ I guess I'll see in 4 days. My regions of interest are NC - Charlotte, Philly, and Baltimore. Charlottes a safe one for me because I've been there and know the city. Philly would be really exciting. How about you?

Idk I'm paranoid! I feel like maybe I did? I mean I'm currently a preschool teacher and I've been promoted to my current position so that's pretty awesome but the only thing I did in undergrad is an honor society. We'll see.
